[quote=LAO3HAN4RICK,234684]I have been to China many times and never got sick from eating local food. Common sense must prevail and good advice has been given. Hot, stir-fried food is generally a good meal choice. Hot noodle soup is a good choice. The contents of the soup will cook in the hot broth. Rice noodles are best food on earth! I see more stalls selling soup in Vietnam than I do in China. Because water can be a problem in many locations in Asia, it is good advice to generally stay away from salads that have been rinsed in local water. It may look good on the table but loaded with many microscopic bugs. I was in hospital for two days after eating a salad over 40 years ago in Thailand. Salads are mostly foods you would find in restaurants. Fruits that you can peel are generally safe and Asia has many delicious fruits. Ever eat Dragon fruit? When I was in Shanghai last year, my wife and I ate delicious steamed buns from a vendor who was selling a basket full every minute. His whole suppy was gone within 10 minutes. They were hot and excellent but I did not questioned the contents of the bun. What made them taste better was the price 1.5 yuan for a large steamed bun. I had two! Very good! The steamed buns for sale in the back alleys of (old town) Lijiang are excellent! Get up early and start walking around the side alleys and streets. You will come across woman selling steamed buns that are delicoius. Generally, you will see children on their way to school buying a bun to eat along the way. 再见! Rick [/quote]
